Dignosed with Cervical Spondylosis Use Homeopathy

Homeopathy Remedies for Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis is spinal
degeneration and deformity of the joint(s) of two or more vertebrae that
commonly occurs with aging. Often there is herniation of the pulposus of one or
more intervertebral discs and/or formation of osteophytes.
When the space between two adjacent vertebrae narrows, compression of a
nerve root emerging from the spinal cord may result in sensory system and motor
system disturbances, such as severe pain in the neck, shoulder, arm, back,
and/or leg, accompanied by muscular weakness.

causes
1. Cervical spondylosis is caused by chronic degeneration of the
cervical spine, the cushions between the neck vertebrae, and joints
between the bones of the cervical spine.
2. A previous neck injury can predispose to a person to cervical spondylosis.
3. Carrying loads on your head (for example, carrying a heavy surfboard down the beach to the waves)
4. Professional dancing.
5. Professional gymnastics.diagnosis
The following methods are used to diagnose arthritis of the neck:
1. mris – particularly useful for viewing the condition of the spinal nerves, mris take pictures from many angles.
2. ct scans provide good views of the encroachment on nervous tissue caused by the remodeling/reshaping of bones.
3. myelogram – this imaging technique enhances the visibility of x-rays.
they are especially good for seeing problems located at nerve roots.do’s & don’ts
1. wheat is better than rice, maida and suji.
2. exposure to cold is avoided.
3. sour things, particularly curd, etc. are strictly prohibited.can cervical spondylosis be treated?
yes. However, in mild cases, no treatment is required. when treatment
is required, it is aimed at relieving pain and preventing permanent
spinal cord and nerve root injury. Treatments include neck brace,
anti-inflammatory medication, neck traction, bed rest, and cortisone
injections. In some cases, surgery is necessary to remove bone and disc
tissue.

symptoms
• Neck or shoulder pain, stiffness of the neck and difficulty turning
or bending the neck from side-to-side are also symptoms of cervical
spondylosis. the symptoms of cervical spondylosis may get worse with
turning, extending, or bending the neck. Pain that shoots down the arm,
and numbness, weakness or pains in the arm are also symptoms of cervical
spondylosis.
• Numbness or a feeling of weakness in the shoulders or in the arm area.
• Muscles spasm and popping sound near the neck.
• Sometimes the pain moves to head
• Symptoms of cervical spondylosis are caused by imposition on the
spinal cord or the nerves as they exit the spine, or both. eck and
shoulder pain are the most common symptom.
• A stiff neck is most often one of the very first signs. Neck stiffness tends to grow progressively worse over time
• Radiating pain to the bottom of the skull and/or to the shoulder and
down the arm. This radiating pain may seem like a stabbing or a burning
or it might present itself as a dull ache.
• Along with pain, cervical spondylosis can be accompanied by
parathesias and muscle weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms and hands,
and a syndrome called numb,clumsy hands

Cervical
Spondylosis symptoms usually refer to various medical symptoms as:

Neck pain (usually
worse on arising in the morning), pain in back of head, shoulder blades or
down the arms

Neck stiffness, painful
and difficult movement of neck

Pins and needles
(paraesthesia), arm weakness and clumsiness

Complications-

The
list of complications that have been mentioned in various sources for Cervical
Spondylosis includes:

·Cervical myelopathy

·Neck pain

·Upper motor neuron lesion

·Dizziness

·Spondylosis

·Lower motor neuron lesion

·Diaphragmatic paralysis

·Neck stiffness

·Headache.

Homeopathy Remedies-

1.
Cimicifuga. [Cimic]
This remedy is especially adapted to the reflex form of spinal irritation
arising from uterine complaints, and where the lumbar region is most affected.
There is sensitiveness to pressure on the upper and lower cervical vertebrae;
the patient cannot lean back in a chair; pains change about from one part to
another. The pressure also sometimes causes nausea, and there is weakness of
the lower extremities and aching in the lumbar region. Amenorrhoea may be associated
with these symptoms. Sulphur
has spinal irritation from suppression of the menstrual flow; jarring causes
pain in the spine. Dry heat in spine.

2. Natrum muriaticum. [Nat-m]
With this remedy there is great sensitiveness between the vertebrae, which is
relieved by lying on the back upon something hard, thus giving pressure which
relieves. Paralysis from weakness of the spine, morning aggravation, vision
clouded, restlessness and debility. Pulsatilla. Body feels stiff, small of back
feels as if tightly bandaged, joints weak. Lathyrus sativus pictures lateral
sclerosis and spastic paraplegic conditions with excessively exaggerated
reflexes. No pain, but motor paralysis of the lower extremities, absence of
atrophy. The writer has had remarkable success with this remedy in the 3rd
potency and also the 30th and Boyd reports a cure of a typical spastic
paralysis with it.
3. Physostigma. [Phys]
This drug pictures spinal irritation; it has burning, twinging sensations
referable to the spine; every nerve seems irritated; numbness of the feet and
hands; crampy pains; muscles of the back rigid, and like Sulphur, pains is caused by pressure between
the vertebrae. Theridion. Pain in spine; has to sit sideways to avoid pressure.
4. Agaricus Muscaris [Agar]
Tingling and burning in the spine as if frost bitten are symptoms
characteristic of this remedy, and no less so are the muscular twitchings in
various parts of the body, especially of the eyelids. The sensations are
described as resembling needles of ice thrust into the skin. There are fugitive
pains along the spinal nerve; in fact, all the symptoms of the drug in the
nervous sphere point to spinal irritation. Sensitiveness of spine to touch;
lumbago; worse walking in open air.
5. Zincum Metallicum [Zinc]
This remedy has an irritable spine; there is aching, especially at the last
dorsal vertebrae; worse from sitting rather than from walking. Burning along
the spine, with trembling of the limbs. Zincum valerianate. Spinal irritation
from reflex causes. Sepia has pain at the last dorsal vertebrae, but not the
same aggravation. Phosphorus. Spine sensitive to touch; weakness of spine;
limbs weak; patient stumbles. Progressive muscular atrophy. Tellurium. Great
pain and sensitiveness of the spine. Spinal irritation, with great
sensitiveness of the spine in the dorsal region. The last cervical and first
dorsal vertebrae are sensitive to pressure.
6. Cocculus Indicus [Cocc]
Paralytic aching in the small of the back; empty gone feelings in the abdomen;
stiffness of neck; headaches; sleeplessness and hyperaesthesia of all the
senses; frequent giddiness; trembling of limbs; tenderness of spine. Secale.
Tenderness over the spinous processes. Argentum nitricum has been used with
marked benefit in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
7. Nux vomica. [Nux-v]
Spinal irritation from sexual excesses; sudden loss of power in the legs in the
morning; hands and feet go to sleep easily; stiffness in knees; numbness and
formication in spine and in extremities. Spinal irritation and backache from
sexual excesses. Staphisagria. Spinal irritation reflex from sexual causes.
Strychnia phosphorica. Aching and tenderness along the spine; tired bruised
feeling of extremities. Tarentula. Anaemia of spine, with spasmodic pains;
there are contractions;; chilliness, with a sensation of burning all over the
body and convulsive movements. Ignatia. Spinal irritation, with hysteria,
headache and weight at back of head. Kali carbonicum. Spinal irritation ;
pressure in small of back as of a heavy weight; burning in spine, with bearing
down in uterine region. Backache worse when walking. Oxalic acid pictures
spinal irritation, pains at the roots of the spinal nerves, pains in spots,
hyperaesthesia.
